D. $1,060,000

Answer 1

Answer:B. $1,000,000

Explanation :

Given that

beginning inventory = $50,000

Cost of Goods Sold =$970,000.

ending inventory = $80,000.

Using the formula below to find the amount of purchases , we have that

Cost of Goods Sold = Beginning Inventory + Purchases During the Period – Ending Inventory

$970,000 =$50,000+Purchases During the Period -$80,000

Purchases During the Period =$970,000 -$50,000 +$80,000

Amount of Purchases During the Period for Broad, Inc. = $ 1,000,000
